(2004)The design of the bronchial tree has largely been proposed as a model of optimal design from a physical-functional perspective. However, the distributive function of the airway may be more related to a geometrical than a ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2003)Los ejemplares adultos de Bufo spinulosus presentan, dentro de su amplio rango de distribucion, diferencias en sus patrones morfologicos, siendo un caso particular la población que habita en las aguas termales de EI ...
-
(Universidad de Chile., 1992)La temperatura corporal y la tasa metabólica son dos de las variables fundamentales de la fisiología ecológica de los reptiles. Dentro de este ámbito, han sugerido posiciones divergente respecto a la respuesta de organismos ...
-
(Universidad de Chile., 1998)La utilización diferencial de microambientes térmicamente favorables pueden significar un ahorro importante en la energía que debe ser asignada al proceso de termorregulación y puede ser determinante dentro del presupuesto ...

(1989)Huddling in small mammals appears as an efficient response to low ambient temperatures with important consequences in thermoregulatory energy savings. These energy savings have been ascribed to a decrease in the exposed ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd, 2003)Chinchilla brevicaudata lives at 3500-5000 m, with high ambient temperatures during the day but cold at night. In this Andean habitat there is also low availability of food and water resources. Physiological attributes ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2005)Studies of metabolic capacities in rodents have been largely studied at an inter-specific levels, but physiological capacities of populations belonging to the same species have received lesser attention. Here we studied ...
-
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 1998)Huddling is effective in decreasing metabolic rate permitting energy saving. However, this decrease varies among different species depending on physical, physiological and behavioral characteristics of the huddled individuals. ...

(Allen Press Inc., 1999)We determined non-shivering thermogensis (NST) and maximum metabolic rate (MMR) as functions of thermal acclimation in a small mammal species in a seasonal environment. We studied the rodent Phyllotis xanthopygus (Muridae) ...
